test stk_param_estim.m on octave 8.2.1: multiple FAILures

Failure Summary:

  ..tave/api-v58/packages/stk-2.8.0/param/estim/stk_param_estim.m  pass    6/11  
                                                                   FAIL    5

They all look similar, e.g.:

***** test  % noiseless
 zi = stk_feval (f, xi);
 param1 = stk_param_estim (model, xi, zi, param0);
 assert (isequal (size (param1), size (param0)))

It looks like there is a change in qp function in octave after 7.3 release:

Thank you @dasergatskov 👍 I will look into it.
